TWO PLAYS FOR BOYS 

By SEYMOUR S. TIRBALS. 

Mr. Tibbals has been unusually successful in fur- 
nishing boys' plays that introduce characters true to 
life. While the plays are strong and forceful in the 
lessons they teach, clean comedy predominates and 
the boys like them. 

"The Millionaire Janitor" 

A comedy in two acts. Here is a rollicking play 
for eight or more boys with plenty of action. Just 
the thing for a Boys' Class or Junior Y. M. C. A* 
Easily staged and costumed. Opportunity for intro- 
duction of 'musical numbers and recitations. By in- 
troducing such features the play may be used for 
an entire evening's entertainment. 

Price 25 Cents 



it 



Up Caesar's Creek" 



A splendid pl-ay for any number of boys. The 
characters are real boys and the play deals with their 
experiences while Camping up Caesar's Creek the per- 
formance closing with a minstrel show in camp. Cos- 
tumes and scenery are not elaborate and the play may- 
be produced on any stage. 

Price 25 Cents 

These comedies are protected by copyright, but 
permission for amateur production is granted with 
the purchase of the book.

CHARACTERS A <\ 

Spirit of Love — Young girl in long while robe; silver 
crown or wreath of pink roses, hair flowing. 

Her Co-Workers: Courage, Joy, Patience, Hope, 
Health, Faith, Peace, .Honor, Compassion, Beau- 
ty, Justice, Truth, Wisdom, Obedience, Purity 
and Harmony — Children dressed in short, white 
tunics trimmed with silver ; silver bands or wreaths ; 
silver wings. The robe and tunics should be made 
of clinging material. 

Spirit of Hatred and her sorcerers of evil : Fear, Mel- 
ancholy, Greed, Gossip, Frailty, Infidelity, De- 
struction, Deceit, Cruelty, Hideousness, Injus- 
tice, Falsehood, Ignorance, Disobedience, Im- 
morality and Discord — Boys or girls dressed in 
long, black robes or capes; pointed hoods and black 
masks. These costumes can be made of black cam- 
bric. The black masks should cover the eyes and 
nose, leaving the mouth free. Spirit of Hatred 
should carry a cane and hobble when she walks. The 
voices of Hatred and sorcerers should be squeaky. 

Colored or spot lights would add greatly to the weird 
effect of Scene II. 

Saint Nick wears the conventional costume. His cap 
and shoulders should be covered with diamond dust 
to represent snow. 



The scenes in this play are easily arranged. 

Scene I. The Kingdom of Love can be made very at- 
tractive with evergreens, Christmas bells and arti- 
ficial flowers. A throne trimmed with flowers is 
placed in center of stage. A large silver star is sus- 
pended over throne — Christmas toys, packages, etc. 

Scene II. The Realm of Evil has no properties with the 
exception of a stool or so — it is nothing more than 
a curtain scene. A dark green or black curtain, 
that can be quickly drawn across stage in center is 
used for background. Cover lights with green 
shades to give a weird effect.

The Kingdom of Love 



SCENE I. 

The Kingdom of Love 

(Play opens with Spirits singing back of scenes 
the first stanza of 

"Oh, little Town of Bethlehem! 
How still we see thee lie." 
[Found in almost any hymnal'] The curtain rises on 
second stanza. Spirit of Love is discovered on 
throne with her helpers grouped around. They are 
tying Christmas packages as they sing:) 

Love — (speaking) 

We've expended much force this year, 

For the mortals on earth's dark sphere; 

Have been bowed with great sorrow and care; 

Desolation of war, famine and woe 

Have befallen the children below. 

The powers of darkness, our foes, 

With their evil have tried to oppose 

Our work, their time is now past, 

Our forces have triumphed at last! 

Great progress, dear Spirits, you have made, 

In helping to comfort and aid 

The oppressed — Our Master above, 

When He visits the Kingdom of Love, 

Will be pleased with the work you have done, 

And rejoice at the battle we've won. 

Truth — (rising) 

Great Spirit of Love, it is true, 
We've accomplished much; through you 
Have we helped the children of woe, 
On the sorrowful planet below. 



The Kingdom of Love 

Wisdom — (rising) 

Yes, Spirit of Truth, you are right, 
It is Love's sweet influence bright, 
Her force that inspires and protects, 
Her hand that wisely directs, 
And the light of her spiritual ray 
That guides us by night and by day. 
(Joy enters with Beauty from left laughing 
merrily. He carries an armful of fruit and drops 
part of it as he enters — apples and oranges roll over 
stage. Co-workers rush to help him.) 

Love — 

You've been wandering again, gay boy, 
Where've you been, my mischievous Joy! 

Joy — (placing fruit with packages) 
To the land of enchantment, near, 
I plucked this fruit for good cheer. 

Beauty — (holding up a basket of flowers) 
And I gathered sweet flowers, fair, 
In the beautiful land over there. 

Love — 

The dear little children this eve, 
Will be glad, I am sure, to receive 
Such dainties, rare — near our door 
Sweet fruit and candies galore 
Are stacked with packages high, 
All ready when Santa comes by. 

Patience — 

Saint Nick will be loaded this year, 
For the children on earth's dark sphere, 
Are in need of comforts to wear, 
And bright gifts to lighten their care. 

Health — 

Soon he will come with a bound, 
For our toys to distribute around. 

Hope — ; 

I do wish dear Santa were here! 



The Kingdom of Love 

Faith — 

From the clouds he will shortly appear! 

Joy— 

And he'll laugh and he'll shake full of fun, 
And then he will hug us each one! 
It is I, who fills him with mirth. 

Honor — 

I don't blame the children of earth 
For loving Saint Nick — 

Spirits — (in unison) 
Nor I! 

(Sleigh bells are heard faintly without, get- 
ting louder and louder.) 

Harmony — 

Hark! (all listen) I hear him close by! 

Love — 

Come, gather the rest of the toys, 
We must not delay, it annoys. 
(Spirit of Love remains on throne, while her 
workers gather up packages and rush off left with 
them. She picks up a box with a doll left near 
throne.) 

Love — (caressing doll) 

Some dear heart this Christmas will be, 
Beautiful doll, delighted with thee ! 
Dear Saint Nick ! He is late I fear, 

(Looks anxiously off left.) 
He will have to work hard this year. 

(Stamping of steeds and sleigh bells are heard 
distinctly off left. Love places doll in box and hur- 
riedly ties package.) 

Saint Nick — (in loud voice without.) 
Whoa! Prince, what's the matter! 
Come, Prancer! don't make such a clatter! 
Lightfoot, my boy, not so fast! 
Ha! Ha! We've arrived at last! 



The Kingdom of Love 

(Merry laughter is heard without. Enter Saint 
Nick with helpers clinging to his arms and coat,) 
Saint Nick — (holding out his arms) 

And now for a hug! great big squeeze! 
(He tries to hug all of them at once — Joy pulls 
his whiskers) 

Saint Nick — (pulling Joy's ear) 

You mischievous boy, you're a tease! 

Joy — (punching Saint Nick's nose) 

Oh, Santa! what a queer, funny nose! 

It is red as the berry that grows! (all laugh.) 

Saint Nick — (brushing the snow from him) 
I must speak to the Spirit of Love, 
(He kneels in front of throne and kisses her 
hand) 

Saint Nick — (rising) 

Well, how is our kingdom above, 

Bright Spirit! And the children of woe, 

On earth's great planet below? 

Love — 

We are glad to see you once more, 
Saint Nick — we have presents galore, 
Lovely gifts and toys for each one — 

Saint Nick — 

I see, great work you have done ! 

God bless your kingdom above, 

Most radiant Spirit of Love, 

And your dear little helpers so bright. 

Just think of the children tonight, 

Who are dreaming and watching for me! 

How happy the darlings will be, 

When the wonderful toys they see! 

Harmony — ■ 

Tomorrow, the earth will resound 
With thanksgiving and praise, and around 
The great globe, the whole hemisphere, 
Sweet, melodious chimes we will hear. 



The Kingdom of Love 

Saint Nick — (looking at watch) 

A quarter to eight! I must go! 
I have much to deliver, you know. 

Love — 

Now, be careful, Saint Nick, for I fear, 
That the powers of darkness are near. 

Saint Nick — 

In the East, the mystical star, 
That led the wise men from afar, 
Is my guide and my beacon tonight, 
And will finally lead me aright. 

(addressing Peace) 
Has Labor loaded my sleigh? 

Peace — (looking off left) 
Yes, Santa, dear 

Saint Nick — 
Now away! 

Through the clouds and the snow I must fly! 
(Spirits follow Saint Nick to left as he makes 
his exit.) 

Spirits — (waving their hands) 
Good-bye! dear Santa! 

Saint Nick— (without) 
Good-bye ! 
(Sleigh bells are heard as curtain falls.) 

CURTAIN. 



8 The Kingdom of Lone 



SCENE II. 

The Realm op Evil 

(Spirit of Hatred is discovered hobbling up and 
down stage impatiently.) 

Hatred — 

Silly knaves! what makes them so slow? 
They should have returned long ago. 
The clock has already struck eight, 
Am afreid they have waited too late! 
I will punish them all when they come. 
Aha! I will flog them, each one! 

(Enter Fear from right, shaking and trembling) 

Fear — 

We have searched, great one, far and near, 
For Saint Nick with his flying reindeer, 
But no traces of him have we found — 

Hatred — 

Silly knave ! he must be around ! 

Begone! (raises stick) don't return, do you 

hear? 
Without him, you coward! base Fear! 
(Exit Fear, trembling) 

(Enter Deceit, sneaking from left.) 

Deceit — 

I have come, fair mistress of Hate, 
With much haste, great one, to relate: 
We have looked above and below 
For Saint Nick, but can't find — 

Hatred — 
And so, 

You have failed, you thief! cunning knave! 
If you wish your neck to save, 
Jlere return, without further delay, 
With Saint Nick — do you hear! Away! 



The Kingdom of Love 

(Hatred taps the floor impatiently as Deceit 
sneaks off stage. Enter from left, Frailty leaning 
on Ignorance.) 

Hatred — 

Silly dames! what have you to tell? 

Ignorance — 

Sister Frailty was not well 
So she had to lean on me — 

Hatred — (chuckling) 

Tis quite evident, I see. 

Frailty — 

And Ignorance lost her way — 

Hatred — (waving them aside) 
Is this all you have to say? 

(Frailty and Ignorance are seated on stools to 
left. Enter Jealousy, Greed and Discord from right, 
quarreling and fighting. Greed carries an armful 
of toys. They are followed by Falsehood, Deceit and 
Gossip,, making gestures as if disputing.) 

Discord — (striking) 

You can't have them all, it's not fair! 

Greed — (scrambling for fallen packages) 
Stop, Discord! they are mine — 

Cruelty — (entering from right) 
Hey there! 

Brother Greed! I found them, you know, 
For the sleigh and the toys we will throw. 

Jealousy — 

Ay ! Cruelty's right, come boys ! 

We will throw for the sleigh and the toys. 

Hatred — (separating them with her stick) 
What's this noise, Discord, about? 
Have you captured Saint Nick, you lout? 

Falsehood — ■ 

Great one, he was captured by Greed — 



10 The Kingdom of Love 

Hatred — 

You are brave, my man, indeed! 

Gossip — 

Fair ruler, this is not true, 

Dame Falsehood has storied to you ! 

Deceit — 

Sister Gossip is right, for I know 
Brother Cruelty struck the first blow! 

Hatred — 

Falsehood, you had better take care! 

How you tell me stories, beware! 

Where's the the prisoner and others, I pray! 

Discord — 

Kind mistress, they are coming this way. 

(Enter from right, Fear, Melancholy, Destruc- 
tion, Injustice* Hideousness, Infidelity, Disobedi- 
ence and Immorality, pulling Saint Nick by a rope.) 

Injustice — 

Come! move fast, jolly face! 

Saint Nick — 

Too bad! you don't like my slow pace. 

(looking around with curiosity) 
So this is your kingdom, my men! 
Your palace of evil, your den ! 

(Spying Hatred) 
What a hideous creature I see! 
Old hag, whom may you be? (Laughs.) 

Hatred — (raising her stick) 

How dare you to call me such names ? 
Beware! You'll be roasting in flames, 
Before the next set of the sun. 

Saint Nick — ► 

Now, Snaggletooth, what've I done? 

Hatred — 

You will know in plenty of time. 



The Kingdom of Love U 

Saint Nick — (bowing) 

Thank you ! The pleasure's all mine ! 

(Sorcerers titter and nudge each other. Soft 
music as Spirits speak behind curtain. They should 
speak distinctly. Spirits appear and disappear 
after speakng. Music ceases when sorcerers speak. 
Sorcerers huddle close together as if frightened.) 

(Courage appears gradually from folds of cur- 
tain in center, then disappears, after speaking the 
following lines:) 

Courage — 

I'm the Spirit of Courage, so brave, 
With my valor and strength from the grave, 
When destruction and death are close by, 
I rescue the souls that would die. 
I give courage to men as they fight 
For the sake of justice and right. 
The trembling, dark sorcerer, Fear, 
Flees, when my spirit is near. 

Fear — (trembling) 

I believe, dear friends, I'll not stay — 
Hatred — 

Begone! Silly coward! Away! 

(Saint Nick laughs as Fear makes his exit, 
trembling.) 

Joy— 

I'm the Spirit of Joy and of mirth, 

Good cheer I bring to the earth, 

Melancholy, brooding with dread, 

Disappears at my light, buoyant tread. 

I'm the offspring of Happ'ness and Love, 

I am Joy ! and I come from above. 
Melancholy — 

I must be leaving, boo! hoo! 
Hatred — 

Away with your weeping, old shrew! 



12 The Kingdom of Love 

Saint Nick — 

Melancholy, for whom do you waste 
Those tears? Now don't be in haste. 

(Saint Nick mocks Melancholy as she makes 
her exit weeping, then laughs boisterously. Hatred 
hobbles up and down stage impatiently.) 

Peace — 

I'm the Spirit of Peace and I bring 
A message to all, from our King. 
Great wars and destruction will cease, 
When I, the Spirit of Peace, 
Descend on the planet below, 
The sorrowful planet of woe. 

Destruction — 

I, like the rest, must take leave — 

Hatred — (raising her stick) 

Make haste! Or else you'll receive 
A blow from my stick, don't lag! 

Saint Nick — 

Come! Just be aisy, old hag! 

Beauty — 

I'm the Spirit of Beauty and Grace, 
On earth, my image, my face, 
Is reflected in all that is fair 
Of form and of color, rare. 

Hideousness — 

My friends, good-bye, I must go, 
I have urgent business, you know. 

Saint Nick — 

Madame, you are ugly, but wise, 
To cover your face in disguise. 
(Exit Hideousness,) 



The Kingdom of Love IS 

Compassion — (as Red Cross nurse.) 
The Spirit of Compassion am I, 
Where the sick and the wounded lie 
Helpless in anguish and woe, 
On the field of battle, I go; 
And I nurse them with tender care, 
For a blood-red cross J wear. 

Cruelty — 

Excuse me, great one, adieu! 

It is time I were leaving here, too. 

Saint Nick — 

Brother Cruelty, tarry awhile! 

Hatred — 

Begone with your grinning old smile. 

(Exit Cruelty) 

(The following spirits appear, each speaking 
his portion of the folloiving speech:) 

I am Patience, I'm Faith, Hope am I, 

We are forces of good from the sky. 

Obedience and Honor are we, 

Trutb, Health and Harmony. 

I illumine the earth with my light, 

For I'm sweet Purity, bright. 

I'm the Spirit of Justice, my fame 

Is known far and near— my name 

Is Wisdom, I wisely bestow 

Knowledge and power where I go. 

(The above Spirits appear and disappear to- 
gether, the remaining sorcerers, wit)\ the exception 
of Hatred, sneak off stage to right. They cling to- 
gether as if frightened.) 

Saint Nick — (yawning and stretching) 
So the cowards have sneaked away! 
A case of desertion, must say! 



lit. The Kingdom of Love 

Love — 

I am Love, universal am I, 
I disperse evil foes that are nigh. 
With my force I vivify all 
Of creation, no matter how small; 
I am essence divine from above, 
I'm the Spirit of Life and of Love! 
(Appears and disappears) 

Hatred — (hobbling toivard right) 

I must look for those cowards, base men! 

Saint Nick — (mockingly) 

Don't leave me alone in this den! 
It is dark, awful gloomy, you know, 
So, please, Mistress Hatred, don't go! 

(Exit Hatred, shaking fist. Saint Nick laughs,) 

Spirits — (rushing on stage from left) 

Did we scare them away? (They untie rope) 

Saint Nick — 
Surely did! 

They have flown to the woods and hid! 
Dear friends, I thank you each one, 
For the kindness this night you have done. 
The rascals have caused much delay, 
Did they carry the toys away? 

Love — (appearing from left) 

No, the sleigh and the toys are here, 
Hid behind a bush that is near. 

Saint Nick — 

I must go! It is late, I must fly! 
So, my friends, again, good-bye! 
Spirits — 

Good-bye! Peace on earth we proclaim, 
This Christmas Eve, in His name! 
(They sing three stanzas of the hymn, "It Came 
Upon the Midnight Clear/' found in almost any 
hymnal.) 

CURTAIN.
